I suggest you download or run Hijackthis
Scan and post your log here… Or go to This Site
and post your log (bottom of the page)
then you will see the unknown processes and which of them you Should(I said should) delete.If possible make a backup of those files ;D
Press the fix button(after you clicked on the files you want to fix) and then delete the Browserhelper.dll file(make a backup but rename it)
Hope this works

browserhelper.dll - Here is the scoop on Madfind Trojan. The big question: what is browserhelper.dll and is it spyware, a trojan and if so, how do I get rid of Madfind Trojan?
browserhelper.dll (Madfind Trojan) - Details
If the dll file browserhelper.dll is on your computer, your system could be infected with a trojan that goes by the name of madfind.
A Browser Helper Object, or BHO, is just a small program that runs automatically every time you start your Internet browser. Usually, a BHO is installed on your system by another software program. For example, Go!Zilla, the downloading utility, installs a BHO created by Radiate (formerly Aureate Media); this BHO tracks which advertisements you see as you surf the Web (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm).
There are applications to remove/repair BHO intrusions.
You can start with Antispyware applications (freeware): download, install, update and run it. Ad-Aware Spybot Search and Destroy Spywareblaster A-squared Ewido Webroot Spy Sweeper: Microsoft AntiSpyware
Win32:Adware-gen was found by Avast in the scan and also Adtomi which is not a virus.
It appears that it may be a false +ve.
INFECTED/MALWARE (Note: only non-destructive malware has been found. Considering the non-destructive nature of samples like these - although they can be a pain -, results will not be stored in the database.)
There also is no record in the registry
How can I stop the alarms?? or will it be removed from the DB.

If avast detected it you should have hadthe choice of moved to chest or delete, assuming you moved it to the chest, after investigation (that you have now done), you can delete it from the chest.
If avast couldn’t move/delete it because it was in use (protected by windows), schedule a boot-time scan from within avast (XP or NT based OS only).
If you haven’t already got this software (freeware, anti-adware/spyware tools), download, install, update and run it.
